Fu Cha Gui Ren, pregnant, bullied An Ling Rong. Bao Juan, to show loyalty, mixed incense ash with horse urine and sprinkled it at the base of a wall, cursing Fu Cha Gui Ren for misfortune. Not long after, Fu Cha Gui Ren indeed miscarried!
Before her death, the Empress Dowager resented the Emperor for confining imperial relatives and pitting them against each other, believing he would eventually be abandoned by all. After the Emperor killed his brother, Guo Zi Li, he was jointly overthrown by Zhen Huan and Zhuai Fei, truly experiencing abandonment by all.
...
Such subtle foreshadowing was present in almost every detail of the entire drama, attracting countless viewers to seek and discover them. kuAiδugg
However, these were minor points. What truly made audiences feel a chilling sense of dread and disbelief were two analytical articles written by a netizen named 'Iced honeydew melon'.
The first, titled "Zhen Huan's Three Divine Predictions."
This article, through Zhen Huan's dialogue, used three sentences to predict the end of her clandestine relationship with Guo Zi Li.
The first statement was in Yuanmingyuan, when Guo Zi Li was night cruising by boat and encountered Zhen Huan, disguised as Huan Bi. During their casual conversation, they discussed Xi Shi and Fan Li. Zhen Huan remarked how heartless Fan Li was to send his beloved woman to the state of Wu as a concubine, predicting Guo Zi Li's later act of sending Zhen Huan back to the palace as Consort Xi.
The second statement was before Guo Zi Li went to Dianzang. He mentioned Liang Zhu, and Zhen Huan found it ominous, saying one spat blood and the other died young, their end too tragic. Later, upon hearing of Guo Zi Li's mishap and death, Zhen Huan herself spat blood.
The third statement was during the New Year's palace opera. The Empress and Hua Fei exchanged barbs through song selection, and Zhen Huan chimed in, aiding the Empress in confronting Hua Fei. The discussion touched upon the play "The Peony Pavilion," with the line: "Love knows no origin, yet it grows deep. The living can die for it, and the dead can be revived by it."
This line mirrored Guo Zi Li's return from the brink of death in Dianzang and also foreshadowed the eventual separation and death at Tonghua Platform.
Zhen Huan originally intended to drink the poisoned wine herself, to give Guo Zi Li a chance to live. Who knew Guo Zi Li saw through it, swapped the poisoned wine, and died himself. He wanted Zhen Huan to live, but she died. Zhen Huan wanted to die, but ultimately lived. This was the meaning of "the living can die, and the dead can be revived."
Upon seeing this article, audiences felt as if Columbus had discovered a new continent.
However, compared to the second article, it was like a gnat compared to a mountain.
The second article by this netizen, 'Iced honeydew melon', was titled "Shocking! Hua Fei, the Iron-Blooded Triathlete, is Actually the Biggest Prophetess in the Harem!"
When it comes to prophetesses, my Sister Hua dares to claim second place, and no one else dares to claim first.
Zhen Huan's predictive ability was already terrifying, but it still paled in comparison to Hua Fei's.
In the drama, there were more than a dozen major and minor divine predictions and allusions by Hua Fei.
The main female characters in "Chun Yuan's Musk Story" were none other than five.
Mei, Huan, and Rong, the three sisters, plus the villains Hua Fei and the Empress, before and after their respective periods.
It was hard for anyone to imagine that the fates of these five women were hidden in Hua Fei's related scenes from the very beginning.
First, the protagonist Zhen Huan.
When Hua Fei, promoted to Noble Consort, used her power to punish the pregnant Zhen Huan with kneeling, she had said: "If you were to give birth to a prince in the future, what would you do? Wouldn't the entire harem take your surname, Zhen?"
As expected, Zhen Huan eventually became the Empress Dowager, and the entire harem took Zhen Huan's surname.
Next, Mei Zhuang.
Mei Zhuang was the first new candidate to serve the Emperor. The Emperor valued her greatly and, knowing she liked chrysanthemums, gifted her green chrysanthemums.
Unexpectedly, while servants were transporting the green chrysanthemums, Hua Fei happened to see them. Hua Fei mistakenly thought they were a gift from the Emperor to her, creating a huge joke.
